QUOTE: Phoenix Support

What do I need to successfully use Phoenix R/C?

To successfully use Phoenix, you will need the following:

• IBM-compatible PC computer with 1.0 Ghz Pentium 3/4 or AMD Athlon/64 compatible processor
• Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system
• 256MB system memory (RAM)
• 1.5 GB free, uncompressed hard-disk space*

Or alternatively:

More information on using Bootcamp can be found here on the Apple website.

Phoenix does not run on older non-Intel Macintosh computers, or the Apple OSX operating system.

Phoenix is supplied with its own USB interface which must be connected to the training port of a compatible radio/transmitter in order to successfully control the simulated models.

truthfully i really dont know the difference between all this stuff. his cpu has a radeon 6250 graphics card with 80 shaders,does anyone know?his tx is a Dx5e

According to the info above the DX5e should work with Phoenix

Sorry I can't help ya with the computer nor graphics card other than what Golden Child has already said.

So my best advice for that would be to send Phoenix an email and ask them

thanks guys_! once again super informative& helpful!

hehe, what a team eh ... Good job GP
